PlayStation 5: Thread 05

[fishbowlhead]

Solid show in the end.

Concord is the least needed thing ever though, another team based online only shooter, just SIGH, i was hoping this was a single player space adventure, double sigh.

[MartyG]

I'd give Concord six-months tops before its killed off - I thought it was another Guardians of the Galaxy game at first but instead it turned into yet another 5-v-5 shooter in a massively over-saturated market segment where most releases go to die.

Dynasty Warriors looks nice, sure that will appeal to the fans.

Infiniti Nikki I want to play because they have cat shaped cameras and suddently got very dark at the end and wasn't cute animals.

Ballad of Antara looks nice, but couldn't really tell if it was a Souls-like or more traditional RPG.

Nice to see more PSVR2 games with Skydances Behemoth and Alien Rogue Incursion

Not so much with Marvel Rivals, meh. Please spend money on our alt-costumes so you're not a default gameplay doesn't inspire me.

Until Dawn is a great game, if you've not already played it as is Path of Exile.

Silent Hill 2 looks decent if you like the way that plays, ditto Monster Hunter Wilds although it just look more of the same.

And finally AstroBot which looks fab.

Someone call Marty an ambulance IMMEDIETLEY, he said a few nice things about PS5 games!!!



Infiniti Nikki looks like a classic hidden PS2 gem in all the right ways, very intrigued about this one.

Overall very happy here that I didn't waste money, time, and space on PS5 hardware a bit ago; besides of course this DualSense controller I bought for my PC.

Astro bot looks amazing... like Mario Galaxy levels of finesse. Absolutely the star of the show.

Everything else was kinda just ok. It was good to get GOW Ragnarok confirmed for PC but that PSN account stuff is going to haunt Sony now.

Concord just didn't land for me. Seems every wants a hero shooter... this one just fell flat.

Totally agree. But Astrobot 2 not getting PSVR treatment is a bad sign

[Neon Ignition]

If I'm being generous about the fate of the PSVR2, really generous, there might be something in a headset showcase at a later date given that the PC adapter wasn't mentioned so presumably further info is inbound sometime soon. But from a Sony perspective that's very much allowing the final nail to hover over the coffin lid for a few more weeks.

Astrobot Playroom was infinitely more popular and recognised though? hardly anyone knows the PSVR one exists let alone how good it is, VR just isn't accessible enough, long term its a dead end for income and profitability.

Sony wont miss the money you don't spend either, shrugs.

[Neon Ignition]

In the trailer for Where Winds Meet, maybe it's to showcase enemies, the player only ever blocks and runs and given the 1 on 1 combat shown I'm going to assume then that it's a Soulslike in which case I'm out. Ballad of Antara is an action RPG but the PS Blog states it's a Free 2 Play title which means again I'm out. Like a hazy uni student waking up after a freshers do, things don't look as good in the morning. SH2 is on PC so Astro is doing all the work for PS5 this fall.

I’ll get SH2 once it goes on a Steam sale, or maybe I’m lucky and it hits Humble Choice.

I’m absolutely part of the bigger problem.

Your absolutely the problem 😂

Not denying it is a quality game, but I do not think it is very hard to be popular when you are pre-installed on all new consoles for free.

[nonny]

I've never played the VR astrobot title but I know it's highly regarded as being brilliant. Given the lack of support for PSVR2 you'd think they'd have something coming for it, even if it was just teased/confirmed.

I guess they've run the numbers and realised they're better off making this instead, which is fair enough... but I guess it shows they have a bigger problem where VR is concerned as there's been what, two games from first party so far?

[hudson]

Astrobot VR had me clambering over my kids to pick one up. An absolute treat!

[Brad]

Astrobot VR was as good as any mario game and the VR just elevated it even higher. A stunning piece of work.
